Grant and Lee: A Study in Personality and Generalship by J.F.C. Fuller

Grant and Lee: A Study in Personality and GeneralshipGrant and Lee: A Study in Personality and Generalship by J.F.C. Fuller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very cool comparison and in depth review of the civil war generals Grant and Lee. I learned a lot of interesting facts about both Generals. At times I found it hard to read. The quotes from the civil war era really slowed me down since their writing style was so much different than what is now and at times the authors writing style made me have to really slow down and re-read the sentences or paragraph to understand what he was trying to say. Overall I still enjoyed it.

#11 - The Gettysburg Trilogy (Gettysburg, #1-3)

The Gettysburg Trilogy (Gettysburg, #1-3)The Gettysburg Trilogy by Newt Gingrich

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Overall this was a great series of books. It was definitely an interesting concept that hooked me in to the story and kept me entertained. Reading the kindle version the only problem I had was that multiple times the time of day the mentioned was totally wrong, the characters were doing something in the morning and it said PM or vice versa. Also in the Kindle version it includes part of the George Washington story that they wrote but I haven' finished that part. I decided to move on to other books for awhile.

Grant Comes East (Gettysburg, #2)Grant Comes East by Newt Gingrich

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Another real exciting book that looks at what might have happened after the Battle of Gettysburg. The only hard part at time was keeping track of some of the names but overall I totally enjoyed it. I am looking forward to the final book in the series.
